Houston
is a terminal show. This means
that your animal will NOT come home
with you. Each exhibitor will
receive market price for their
animal whether or not they make the
sale.
The animals
must be tagged in at county validation
in late October. If you need help
finding an animal to purchase contact
Ms. Tindel. As soon as school
starts we will determine the number of
animals that will be purchased through
the Ag. department and make arrangements
for an exact date to buy them. You
must give Ms. Tindel the money to
purchase the animal BEFORE she goes to
buy them so that the breeder can be paid
at the time of purchase. We will
do our best to find you the best animal
we can for your price range, however
most show quality sheep and goats will
cost at least $250.
Chickens
& Rabbits:
These
species will only be shown through
FFA at the county stock show.
They will be purchased by your Ag
Teacher. Let your Ag teacher
know ASAP if you are interested in
one of these projects!
